As the hour hit midnight, and kerbin passed over to a new year, president Traian held a surprise press conference in the palace of parliament. He proclaimed:
The Larrean government deeply condemns the actions of the republic of Basil and her allies. Disturbing the peace of the Baskay is a bold move, one which almost always comes with consequences. We strongly advise their governments to reconsider their actions and to abide by international law. Until then, an embargo shall be placed upon the republic of Basil.
